Our local Autobody teacher at TAFE is now unable to source .8 and if I remember correctly 1.2 mm sheet steel.
The fitters in the structures lab at uni have to buy US made bolts for the test rigs for the Chinese made pallet racking and other steel products that are in need of local accreditation.
Since Ajax shut down these are now unobtainium in Oz.
The death of the local car industry will undo all it was set up for by that nasty labor government.
A depth and expertise in Oz so we could manufacture what is needed to defend ourselves.
Welcome to the clever country.
